The Mollys B by Joann Howeth is a charming and adventurous story that draws delightful parallels between two different but equally bold characters: Margaret “Molly” Brown and a cow named Molly Bovine. Through engaging illustrations by Rupert Van Wyk, the book highlights the courage and determination of both Mollys, showing their bravery in the face of adversity. The story traces the real-life journey of Margaret Brown, famously known as the “Unsinkable Molly Brown,” who survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic. It also follows the journey of Molly Bovine, a cow who escapes from a meatpacking plant in Montana, drawing an unexpected and touching connection between the two characters. Both Mollys exhibit a fearless spirit, with Margaret rallying her fellow Titanic survivors and Molly Bovine running for her life, avoiding capture at every turn.
The book beautifully intertwines history, offering readers a unique way to learn about Margaret Brown’s legacy while enjoying a whimsical tale of animal bravery. The pacing is light and energetic, making it a delightful read for children and adults. Joann Howeth cleverly uses the dual narratives to highlight themes of resilience and survival, showing that courage knows no bounds whether it is a woman on a sinking ship or a cow escaping inevitable fate. The Mollys B is an uplifting story about perseverance, making it an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys stories with a fun twist. The combination of humor, history, and adventure creates an engaging story that will leave readers rooting for both Mollys.
